Murder that isn't murder is the theme of the latest episode of The Avengers to come under the gaze of the randomiser's microphones, but is there enough in this latest instalment to eke the conversation out beyond a cursory quarter of an hour? jrsouthall.podbean.com/e/who-review...

Dinosaurs you won't recognise, kids you won't care about and parents you'll wish were dead; it's all in a day's work when you're paying homage to Steven Spielberg's 20th century and not getting it quite right. The End of Oak Street goes under our microphones. jrsouthall.podbean.com/e/film-club-...

During the Doctor Who downtime, we resurrect the strand in which we ask whether the producers are justified in bringing back characters and creatures time after time, or whether they just do it because the costumes are handy. This time: the Sontarans jrsouthall.podbean.com/e/blue-box-2...

Battleships wasn't the first time Hollywood decided to try its hand at turning a board game into a longform narrative screen experience (we're still waiting for War of the Daleks), so in order to pay our respects to Tim Curry we couldn't resist watching Clue. jrsouthall.podbean.com/e/film-club-...

There have been many big questions vexing the Doctor Who fan universe. What year is Sarah Jane from? What really happened to the Loch Ness Monster? Now there's a new question. Will Devious be finished first, or will the film about Devious be finished before Devious is finished?

@0tralala.bsky.social So I have a question; I was always under the impression that The Six Doctors was the story Robert Holmes was working on, prior to getting sacked and Terrance Dicks replacing him with The 5 Drs. But the blurb on the novel you've written doesn't fit with what was known of that...
